Dangote And Obi 

The recent conflicts between Dangote Industries and various government agencies are deeply troubling, says the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

He added that the issue goes beyond political affiliations and personal grievances; it is fundamentally about Nigeria’s economy, future, and the well-being of its citizens.

Given Alhaji Dangote’s significant contributions to Nigeria, it is crucial that these disputes are resolved swiftly, Obi said this on his Twitter handily on Tuesday.

Aliko Dangote is the founder and president/Chief executive of the Dangote Group, the largest conglomerate in West Africa.

The former Anambra State Governor, said that government agencies should be directed to offer the necessary support for the seamless launch and operation of the Dangote Refinery and its associated enterprises.

The refinery according to him, has the potential to generate approximately $21 billion in annual revenue and create over 100,000 jobs, with numerous additional positive impacts on the economy.

Obi emphasized the strategic importance of the refinery in addressing Nigeria’s fuel crisis, boosting foreign exchange earnings, and fostering economic growth.

He stated, “The refinery is too vital to fail and must not be hindered, considering its crucial role in our national welfare.

“The Federal Government and its agencies need to recognize the significance of Dangote’s contributions. Alhaji Dangote is not just a businessman; he is a national and African icon symbolizing patriotism, commitment, and impactful entrepreneurship, Obi noted.

“Despite operating in a challenging business environment, Dangote has established a remarkable industrial hub in Nigeria, encompassing over 15 sectors, including cement, sugar, salt, fertilizer, infrastructure, tomatoes, automotive, energy, petrochemicals, rice, poly sacks, real estate, mining, logistics, and maritime.”

Obi highlighted Dangote’s unwavering dedication to Nigeria’s industrialization, job creation, and economic growth despite adversities, and stated that this warrants full support and protection.

With economic indicators like unemployment, inflation, forex scarcity, and debt worsening, every sensible and patriotic, Obi said government should regard enterprises like Dangote Industries as national treasures, meriting robust support and protection.

“In the interest of Nigeria and its citizens, as well as Africans at large, I urge the Federal Government and its agencies to provide Dangote Industries, especially the refinery, with all necessary support,” Obi said.
